He said my council to the people concerning Liquor

yourselves the Liquor & Breer is of no yoose use to
you. I dont object to your making root beer for
that is healthy. I wish to say a word about Amasa
Lyman & tell why he is droped from the Twelve
it is because of his infidelity. he has no faith
in the Attonement, & another reason is he has lied in
his confession. He has Preached infidelity for
many years to the people, but not to the Preside-
ncy & Twelve. Orson Pratt does not believe in a
God ownly in Atributes but not in a personage
He would have been cut off from the Church long
ago had it not have been for me. The Twelve would
have cut him off. Did any one of you ever hear of
any one of the Twelve ever preach the baby Resurrection
I hav herd of it Neither of those brethren will
be enabled to do any good. At the close of the
Meeting President Young with some of the Twelve laid hands
upon the Head of Mother Atwood & blessed her &
set her apart to administer to the sick of her sex
Erastus Snow signed the paper cutting A Lyman
off from the Church or from the Quorum of the Twelve
